B. Installation Follow the steps below to mount the brackets and enclosure: Important: ☝ The mounting wall and fastener selection is at the discretion of the installer. Weight rating fasteners should be rated to at least 30kg of shear force per fastener. It is the installer's responsibility for appropriate site selection and bracket fastener choice. - Page 13 Insert the locking bar through the mounting bracket as shown. If required, a customer supplied padlock can be fitted to the locking bar to secure the SolShare to the wall. Ensure SolShare is securely fastened to the wall and locked into place.

Page 16: Input Connection
A. Input connection All wiring is conducted on the AC side of the inverter. SolShare requires a three-phase, grid-connected inverter to be used in the PV installation. The solar input cables must come from an Inverter Supply Main Switch, ideally located in an accessible location from the main switchboard. To wire the input cables into SolShare, the following steps should be taken: Measure out the input cables and cut to Strip cable sheath back by approximately 100mm. -
Page 17: Output Connections
B. Output connections Please refer to your Project Single Line Diagram (SLD) on where to connect SolShare to the main switchboard. Your project Single Line Diagram (SLD) should be designed in accordance with the SolShare System, SLD Design Guidelines, and relevant standards and codes. If no project SLD exists, please contact the project owner or system design engineer. - Page 18 Install the Isolation Box and connect SolShare outputs Secure the Isolation Box to the wall; mounting it close to the base of SolShare but with enough distance for wiring and maintenance.

- Page 20 Warning: Ensure the phase of the solar supply correctly matches the phase of the unit’s supply from the grid. Additional circuit breakers must be sized to perform overload protection for SolShare output cables. The solar system max output must be less than the main circuit breaker rating of every connected unit.

Page 25: Iv/ Commissioning
IV/ Commissioning A. Check phase wiring before power on Caution: Grid connections must be wired to the correct phase before applying voltage to SolShare. Failure to do so could result in a phase-to-phase condition which may damage SolShare. This will not be covered by SolShare warranty. Prior to turning on SolShare isolators: Ensure the output wiring is correct and the voltage phase is connected per the SLD and terminal labelling. - Page 26 Additional check items There is no phase-to-phase miswiring (all phase checks read 0V). SolShare has one input neutral and earth connection, from the inverter to SolShare. Only one output neutral and earth is wired out of SolShare to the main neutral bar and main earth bar located in the main switchboard, via the neutral bar and earth bar inside the Isolation Box.
